    To be honest mate i've lost all hope of them going. I said the other day unless they keep their promise of giving it away I just can't see them going. IF anyone wants to buy a football club there will many more better options than Hull City. We will soon be left with nothing of value except our place (where ever that may be) in the football league. The potential riches of football are in the Premier League, the investment needed to get Hull City back there would be huge. Far better to buy another / any other club in the championship.

    Maybe they do but the council blocks their plans at every turn, leading to resentment and vendettas?

    Refusing to give away the stadium is not blocking their plans at every turn.

    The COC was/is an ideal opportunity to expand the club in the community. It was never going to happen under the current regime.

    I wasn't mentioning names. I meant maybe previous owners wanted to put billboards down Boothferry Road and were denied etc. :emoticon-0138-think

    But the council weren't exactly over helpful with the kits exhibition either (kind of my previous point).

    I didn't think that had anything to do with the club and it was (still is?) being staged in a council museum.

    Ah just thought about the kit launch, how and why that happened I don't know.

    Not the club. Just the council and the exhibition.

    In certain things yes he was a good,pr man or bullshitter.
    But actually he didn't engage the untapped masses in hull. I don't think any chairman has on a real level.
    That's why there's more East Riding fans in the kcom than from hull.
    It's the six week holidays and City will be doing the soccer schools. I've posted this many times.
    It will be week one kcom and week six kcom. In between it will be a Hornsea, brid, South Hunsley and Beverley.
    No longhill no greatfield north bransholme ope bilton grange. And it's been like that for twenty years.
    City hardly ever go into schools in hull. Rovers do .fc do.
    Why don't City do an open training session one day in east hull, one in north another week.
    That's engaging the grass roots.

    Or maybe give their Parents/Grandparents/ Uncles or Aunties a fair cost of taking them to games? You know, get them into It, so they might become future City fans.

    It's a proven technique.

    The single mam with three kids on longhill or north won't be buying tickets at any price. But meeting them in the school and getting freebies off players, kit scarves etc is what first gets them hooked.

    And never have done. That's the point. We don't engage.
